"I help my clients find their spark and fall back in love with life. I specialize in helping those who are stuck in a long-standing depression, and I have a strong understanding of the issues of trauma, anxiety, and grief and loss that can reinforce it. Many people live lives weighed down by old issues and stuck patterns. If you can envision a better version of yourself and a fuller life, now is the time to start figuring out how to get there---and we can all get there."

I work interactively, offering genuine compassion and sensitivity. We will work together to make sure therapy feels comfortable and effective. Sometimes it is a matter of seeking another perspective that opens the door to new ideas in order to uncover solutions."

"Do you feel like your life is a series of incomplete sentences? Are you homesick for a place you aren't even sure exists? Adulting is like folding a fitted sheet. No one really knows how to do it. Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong. Decisions sometimes prove to be the hardest to make, especially when it's a choice between where you are and where you really wanted to be."

"My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can articulate their inner experience through both words and symbols. Deeper and clearer understanding unfolds as we engage in the therapeutic process with both a playful curiosity and a nonjudgmental attitude. I listen deeply and empathize with clients, while simultaneously encouraging them to confront the unhealthy roles, ineffective patterns and behaviors, and difficult emotions that are keeping them stuck in their lives. I believe that psychotherapeutic work profoundly transforms our inner worlds. It is truly a gift to be witness, partner, and guide on this journey."

"Most of us live from problem to problem. As soon as one ends, another pops up. It seems we are always on high alert; always switched on, with stress running the show. Research is discovering new ways of regulating our brains and leading us out of stress mode. My approach to psychotherapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy and offers a gentle, life-affirming way to work with painful life experiences, and tools to help you access the inner resources you need to live life more fully: EMDR, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and positive psychology."

"The majority of the clients I see are women experiencing a transition in life. Sometimes this looks like the end of a relationship, feeling stuck in a career, or not really being sure where to go next but knowing it is time to make a change.

I see women struggling with infertility, experiencing the grief of miscarriage or other perinatal loss, and transitioning into the phase of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I love supporting women during these times of their lives that feel so vulnerable."

"I believe we can become ashamed of events in our lives, or carry past regrets. Without addressing these issues, we might come to believe these problems are a part of us, and become negative toward ourselves and others. We may begin to experience and internalize pain and suffering which can affect our daily living and relationships. Through counseling, you can experience freedom, confidence and kindness toward yourself and others. Working collaboratively, I will support you in developing the tools, skills and insight to create positive change."
